Hi, and Good Evening, all. I recently (about several weeks before to the beginning of May) moved the My Pictures folder (this folder also had the WinDVD Capture folder in it) from its original location in my laptop's My documents folder on C:\ drive onto a new external hard drive that I got (drive E:\) and ever since then when I play DVD movies on InterVideo WinDVD and use the still image capture feature, it captures the screenshots from the movie ok, no problem, but when I click "save all", these screenshots no longer show up in the WinDVD Capture folder. So I moved the WinDVD capture folder onto my desktop on C:\ drive and tried clicking "save all" again and opened the WinDVD Capture folder and still no screenshots. I think the path has been broken; the path to InterVideo WinDVD is: C:\program files\InterVideo\WinDVD, and the path to the WinDVD capture folder is: C:\Documents and settings\Kelly\desktop How do I restablish the WinDVD capture folder's original path to InterVideo WinDVD?
P.S. This is InterVideo WinDVD 5, and it came with my laptop, or my laptop's Windows XP operating system. When I clicked on the "save all" after captureing the screenshots, I get a "save succeeded" message, yet there's no screenshots in the WinDVD capture folder. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you very much.

This is an old program, but that really has nothing to do with your problem
I am guessing here: Put My Pictures back into My documents on C:
See if it works.
Go into WinDVD5 options to see where it stores stuff and change that to wherever you want.
Try it, it should work.
XP (and Vista) expect My Pictures to be in My documents. Simply copying it somewhere does nothing - the registry still says My Documents. In properties, look for move.
My documents can be moved by first, copying it somewhere, and second, clicking on my documents, chosing properties, and using that panel to move it to the new location. In vista, it's the location tab and the Move button. I've forgotten about XP, but it's similar.

if this doesn't work, take it to be an XP question and ask it on the MS XP general forum. You'll get an answer quickly

problem solved!
Hi, Rose3. Your guess turned out to be the solution to my problem: I simply moved the My Pictures folder back into Kelly's Documents (my documents) that's on C: drive, and then I moved WinDVD Capture folder back into the My Pictures folder, tried playing a DVD movie in InterVideo WinDVD, using its screenshot capture feature, clicking the "save all" button, and goody, goody, goody...all of the screenshots were in the WinDVD Capture folder! Thanks a whole bunch! You're smarter than you think you are!
P.S. I forgot all about what the registry says...oooh! So dumb of me!

Fantastic! Yeah, I took it to be an opsys problem, not a program problem.Kelly Stiver wrote:Hi, Rose3.

Now, too, you understand that you can move the whole of Documents wherever you want, simply by copying it where you want, then going to the original, right clicking it, chosing properties, selecting MOVE, pointing to the new one, and etc.
Vista is only slightly different because it uses those "fake" pointers. Also in the Properties folder there is a "Location" tab. I keep my Documents on F: because NWN2 game likes to save to the Documents folder at 100mb a whack. I also back up F on a periodic basis. As well as C and E where I keep all my downloaded and system install stuff. (Acronis 11 TI) (image to another spindle, and occasionally to a DVD.)
